On Facebook and Weibo a new, unofficial take on Soundwave meant to fit in with the popular Transformers Classics/Generations figures has been revealed. Initially we just saw yet another silhouette with a clear view of the head sculpt. Later NECIO posted the same image with a lot less shadows, which gives us a much better look at the body.
Read on to check it out.

Tronus/Granville/Storm Emperor was a total lemon and the company threw in the towel after the bad reviews & bad sales, IIRC.

Sorry to necro this, but any news on this? Is the company even still in business?

This one looks great with Hegemon and the raptors:

My Classics collection desperately needs a Soundwave too. Music Label is just too small when put next to Hegemon and the iGear Raptors.

I know…. TOO long. I'm also looking for a CHUG scale Shockwave too…
Here's to hoping. These are the only characters I don't have represented in my collection from those years, currently.

I'm really curious to see where this project is going… I really need a good Soundwave to go with my CHUG collection… just happened to remember the project today. 🙁

They displayed shadowed picture of not-Soundwave first, but it hasn't gone up for preorder.
As for a reason, possibly they fast-tracked their Blaster to try to beat Unique Toys to the market. No reason to work quickly when there is no compeition for a Classic Soundwave coming, but if Unique Toys Soundmixer hits first, it would hurt sales of Megasteel Sonic.

I'm looking forward to Radio-not-Blaster.
Did MS announce their not-Soundwave beforehand? If so, I wonder why pre-orders for Radio came first?
Did they make anything else before these two?
btw a little bump doesn't hurt. Forum's not just for updates but a bit of banter too.

Cool.

Asking just gets people's hopes up, thinking there's news…when it's just someone asking if there is news. It's really not easy for news to go unnoticed; if something was said about this guy, it would have been posted without anyone needing to ask for it. The BTS Nova Lord thread was just bumped today, too, because of someone else asking about updates, and one of the first replies was along the lines of "awww, I thought there was actual news".
So yes, I feel like a "good trooper" for spreading the word that asking for updates is 99.9% ineffective.

It doesn't hurt to ask, it's easy for news to go unnoticed when there are a lot of events going on. Glad to know this thread has good trooper like you to watch over it. Do you feel better now?
Toonimator
No, or you wouldn't have been the one to bump this back to the front page.

You are number 06.

Would buy! Love MP SW, but there's always room for another good translation of the character.
Sciencefriction
Any updates on this guy yet?

^ Well alright I can't wait to see how this turns out. I hope we see a size comparison with Hegemon.

I was recently in contact with Mega Steel, who are making this Soundwave, and the Blaster seen in another thread. Asked them if they had any updates. Their response was:
So, it looks like these guys are on track, we will see something next month!

It's an SUV, I've already have the Animated Soundwave so my SUV Soundwave is already in my collection.
